BioWare have now released a ten minute minute long gameplay video which has some commentary courtesy director of production Dallas Dickinson, who talks you through one of the game’s epic missions in which the players raid (this is where we lose the WoW players to fantasies of a dungeon) a prison buried under the ice of Belsavis — thought to be the hiding place and “an ancient and deadly evil that could threaten the galaxy”.

Like Bobby Kotick’s face.

“To counter this threat, General Threnoldt dispatches Imperial forces to investigate the prison and confront the dangers within. Watch as a group of players work their way towards the prison gates in the opening section of the Eternity Vault, one of the high-level Operations in Star Wars: The Old Republic,” explains the developer.

While the game has no solid release date with “holiday 2011” the only indication so far, EA Labels boss Frank Gibeau has said that the fan reaction to the beta — of which two million have signed up for, so far — will be the deciding factor.

Watch the trailer and let us know how you feel about the game. Are you as excited about it as we are, or has the Force Unleashed series killed your Star Wars gaming buzz for the time being?

And I liked the first Force Unleashed game, was great fun (camera was a bit dodgy in place but I’ll forgive the game for that).

I have been looking forward to this particular game since it first showed up as a simple, bad graphics Star Wars game which, at the time was only MAYBE going to be an MMO but they were not sure yet… But I’m seeing signs that it’s not going to be released in SA. So I’v all but given up hope of ever playing this wonderful looking game and these clips are torture!!! :P *sad soul*

yeah well i think this will fail, we all star wars fans but nothing beats taking your guy solo leveling him up with all dark powers and killing everything yourself. That gameplay footage with the group talking and the commentator realy shows that this game as like a 1 play through. what happens if thier is no freinds or people to raid/play with?? umm yeah fail

I’m much more excited for Guild Wars 2. Every detail I hear about it makes me more excited about it.

Also, I’ve never seen Star Wars. Cue everyone raging at me for that.

Dont stress, I stopped watching starwars in like the nineties. Starwars is fail imo..Havent seen any “new” Starwars. This game looks too boring and bland.
